FAQs

Q: Why didn't you include the meat you can harvest from creatures?
A: I wanted to avoid relatively generic harvesting materials. Largely I assumed that DM's would be able to judge meat
harvesting by themselves without any need for a guide.
Q: Can I give suggestions or feedback?
A: Of course! This is a living document and I fully endorse anyone to send in item suggestions or balance feedback. See the
Contact Us section for contact details.
Q: Can I change an item to suit my campaign?
A: Feel free to do so. Items were designed to be setting agnostic and able to fit into anything, but edge cases could always
occur. I encourage DMs to use this guide as a launching point for their own ideas.
Q: Will you be making a follow-up for Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes?
A: Yes I am. Follow @drifterworkshop on Twitter for regular updates.
Q: How do your rules fit in with the newly released Artificer class on Unearthed Arcana?
A: To be honest, they do not. The updated Artificer class was released very late into the development of this guide and as such,
this guide does not incoporate them at all. A future update may attempt to reconcile them.
Q: Why don't you include the beast section?
A: I felt that beasts were too mundane to include in the harvest table, and largely could be replaced by a DM googling an actual
butcher table.
Q: How come you didn't include any loot like weapons and armour?
A: Those items are largely context sensitive. After all, not every Hobgoblin walks around with a spear at all times, so I felt best
to leave those out and up to the DM to decide based on context.
